#996 The 1980 Saints

1-15 should suffice for this one, but I’ll go on a little more.  This team was led by the Manning who hasn’t won a superbowl in the last two years — or every — and a stellar rushing game led by Jimmy Rogers with 336 whole yards all season.  To put this is perspective, Adrian Peterson gained 290 in one game 17 years later.  As a credit to the team, at least they weren’t a bunch of criminals like, say USC.  I think that school generally breeds pretty horrible people, I can think of two specifically, and neither is O.J. Anyway, the Saints are faring better these days, but they are and will always be the Aints.

#997 Dealing with the aftermath of New Year’s Eve

There are countless survivors (and casualties) of last night’s New Year’s Eve undoubtedly.  Some are still in bed, some with other people still in bed, some with other things in bed, some waiting for Mom to fix them ham and eggs ro breakfast, some puking up blood and bile - hankered over a toilet seat.  All good things, very good things.  Some people are probably making their resolutions for the new year, like go to the gym more often, read a book a week, don’t abuse little children, etc.  But most of these won’t last.  What will last, is that next year, these people will probably be in the same place — at the breakfast table, over a toilet, trying to piece together last nights’ debauchery while a 260 pound hooker steals your wallet and sneaks out the back door — saying they won’t do it again.

I’m drinking coffee, and no hooker is stealing my money.
